๐๐๐ซ๐โ๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐ฑ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ - for those girlies who are trying Botox for the first time, I hope this calms your nerves! And for those of you who have gotten Botox many times, weโre sure you can relate.
What to expect after Botox can be a little confusing, so please reference our timeline to help you gain confidence and comfort in the process!
๐-๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ: Botox begins to settle into the muscle and you will start to see changes in muscle movement
๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ: Botox has reached itโs full effect! Your practitioner will want to follow up with you now to make sure your dose is accurate and youโre loving your results. You may still notice some residual wrinkles. This is because, up until that point, your muscles have been moving in full force, so, it will take a week or two for the wrinkles to smooth over completely. Lastly, if you feel โheavy,โ this is normal- your body is acclimating to the botox, especially if the dose has been increased.
๐-๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ- The glassy smoothness you desire is here and any heaviness will be gone. Enjoy your glow! The 6-8 week mark is the peak of botox.
๐-๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ- The botox is beginning to wear off. It might wear off in different places at different times; i.e. your crows feet will wear off first due to constant blinking. Time for your next appointment!
If you have to make your next appointment a little early, that is okay! You may just feel a little less movement than usual.
If you notice your botox is wearing off faster than 3-4 months, it may be due to under dosing or certain lifestyle habits. Check out our tips to making botox last longer!
